The All’s Eye Trio has returned with their latest single, “The Simian”—a sonic kaleidoscope that cements their status as one of modern music’s most inventive and electrifying acts. Recorded at legendary Carriage House Studios and polished at Music Factory Studios, this track is a tour de force of improvisational brilliance, blending boogaloo funk, soulful organ grooves, and alternative rock into a sound that feels both nostalgic and thrillingly new.
“The Simian” envelops listeners in a rich, layered soundscape. Ari Joshua’s guitar work shimmers with the soulful intensity of the Allman Brothers, while Kris Yunker’s organ weaves through the mix with jazz-inflected sophistication. Drummer Ben Atkind (known for his work with Goose) anchors the track with polyrhythmic precision, and Jason Hann (The String Cheese Incident) elevates the groove with his dynamic percussion.
The result? A full-spectrum auditory experience—colorful, dynamic, and impossible to categorize. The lyrics, though sparse, carry an uplifting, almost spiritual weight, reinforcing the band’s knack for melding technical prowess with emotional resonance.
True to their jam-band roots, The All’s Eye thrives on spontaneity, and “The Simian” captures that live-wire energy while benefiting from studio refinement. The track’s epic arrangements unfold like a musical journey, with each instrumental break offering new surprises—whether it’s a funky keyboard detour, a guitar solo that soars, or Hann’s hypnotic percussion flourishes.
Complementing the track’s vibrant energy is the trippy, psychedelic artwork by Roberlan Borges Paresqui, whose designs mirror the song’s kinetic, rainbow-hued sound. It’s a perfect marriage of sight and sound, reinforcing the band’s commitment to full-sensory artistry.
Looking ahead, April 2025 brings more fire:
- April 11 @ Umbra, Brooklyn (w/ Blahsum)
- April 12 @ Park City Music Hall (opening for Kung Fu)
A joyous, virtuosic ride from start to finish, “The Simian” proves The All’s Eye is one of the most exciting trios in music today.
